Popis:	Hybridization of a cloned DNA probe to blots of restriction digests of Locusta migratoria genomic DNA showed that a vitellogenin gene is present at one copy per haploid genome in females, and at only one-half that number in males. The genomic region encompassing the 3′-coding end of the gene is polymorphic, as revealed by blots of DNA from individual locusts. DNA from some female locusts yielded two variants in this region, whereas a series of male locusts showed one variant or the other, but never both. The results demonstrate that the vitellogenin gene, which is normally expressed only in females, is X-linked in L. migratoria.
